\(\frac{1}{3}(5n+12)+\frac{1}{3}n=-1\) You have to get the \(n\) on its own. Start by getting rid of the fractions by multiplying. Is the second term supposed to be \(\frac{1}{3n}\) or \(\frac{1}{3}n\)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There is a left side of the equal sign, and a right side. The left side is (1/3)(5n+12) + (1/3)n The right side is -1 Anything you do to one side you must do to the other to maintain equality.

Ok, so multiply both sides by 3 to get rid of all those annoying fractions.
